A look back at the musical performance at Gent Jazz last Saturday and Sunday. Or how a Canadian singer and her American colleagues trumping a genius armobil can carry that pushes the boundaries of jazz. An evening program
Saturday Phronesis bite the ball rolling. armobil The jazz trio founded by the Danish bassist Jasper Hoiby in 2005 out nicely against the very American interpretation of the rest of the evening. The band, which is already working on her fourth album and the American scene by storm with taking is clearly grateful for the support they got from their beginnings from Ghent.
The melody they brought were sharp, complex, unpredictable armobil and extremely nervous, so far from smooth jazz. The three rasartiesten were particularly well adapted to each other, so the nervousness armobil of the set never degenerated into chaos. Although the sheer class and technology blew us some time of our chair, Behind Bars and Demo Crazy were still the highlights of the set. Those numbers were slightly less tight and unruly, with more attention to issues that the marquee names in tow.
The contrast with the successor Kurt Elling, an American entertainer, could not be greater. With his red moccasins, achteruitgevet sleek hair and a smile from detergent commercials gone long the man spent a lot show. The songs he drew the lion's share of his new album: 1619 Broadway - The Brill Building Project. Here he does a series of American songwriters, Burt Bacharach to Paul Simon, who together rain hit singles from tiny rooms in the New York music factory.
Elling brought it all with incredible flair and presence - his version of A House is Not a Home for example, was phenomenal - but too often dominated the showboating armobil and stood in front of an acrobat who the audience wanted to show his skills. armobil So took the beatbox duel with drummer Kendrick Scott especially sailing out the action. The man is incredibly talented, but too often the songs went with the battle for the lead role. The audience, which for the large half of a fine collection of Ghent bourgeoisie was, seemed to feast on the little armobil Las Vegas in their backyard. Anyway Though it may be slightly ironic shamelessly flatter ("you really are the hippest, wealth classiest and most amazing armobil people in all of Ghent") there also have something to do with it. Close he did with his interpretation of Edith Piaf's La Vie en Rose. Where Nina Simone still can endear us with her heavy fragile armobil accent, just reminds Elling us something too hard on an American fifties on vacation in Paris who wants to prove that he speaks armobil the language of love to his trophy wife: "For the lady a distant armobil or Chardonnay, please. "
Diana Krall made at the start of the evening somewhat melancholy impression. She stammered softly into the microphone, which was looking for words. Oddly enough testified that just the sincere that lived during the last show here and there missed. Her first songs she picked out her latest Glad Rag Doll. Totally pack surfing the Gatsby craze they explored forgotten that record gems from the vaudeville armobil jazz. Which followed them effortlessly with her own homage to a wide range of American classics. After a masterful version of Tom Waits' Temptation she sent her band just for cocktails. She did as if she would accept the request numbers armobil ("as long as it's not numbers hubby Elvis Costello") armobil and then brought incredibly heartfelt interpretations of Bob Dylan and Neil Young. She faltered here and there just did not stop her lovely grainy "a man feels afraid" Nazi sizes third long. At the end of the set, they all entered the field of Elling with her covers of Fly Me to the Moon and Boulevard of Broken Dreams. On this evening a Canadian American went running with the prices. Sunday
Sunday brought the festival tribute to the eccentric genius called John Zorn. In honor of his sixtieth birthday, the American composer and saxophonist, pioneer in musical eclecticism, a unique program under the heading Zorn at 60. Along with twenty virtuoso musicians, he put an evening of level that we did forget any categorization armobil in music. armobil
The Alchemist, a string quartet named after the book by Paulo Coelho, brought the tent in a mesmerizing atmosphere. The performers were not flirting with impressive virtuosity, but frankly making love for classical music. This has already proven how grateful the Gent Jazz audiences year after year, when the string at the end of their set was rewarded with a standing ovation.
The more intimate garden internship, new this year and snugness a great asset, we saw after the Tirzah-Quartet to work. The smooth, soft and very vertee
